Brewers begin 43rd season

The Brewers are in chilly Cincinnati to begin their 43rd season as a franchise and 14th in the National League. The franchise is 23-18-1 on Opening Day, 15-13-1 on the road and 7-5-1 overall since joining the NL. The tie was right here in Cincinnati, on April 3, 2000, when Davey Lopes’ managerial debut was called in the top of the sixth inning with the teams tied at 3.
This is only the team’s fourth regular-season game in March. Here are the others:
3/31/98 at Atlanta — Lost, 2-1
3/31/03 at St. Louis — Lost 11-9
3/31/08 at Chicago Cubs — Won, 4-3
John Axford, Zach Braddock, Brandon Kintzler and Erick Almonte are Milwaukee’s first-time members of a Major League Opening Day roster.
